I had stopped counting the days.

Morning and night blended into each other, marked only by the nurses coming in, the doctors checking monitors, and me sitting in the same chair beside Liam’s bed. I slept there. Ate there. Lived there. If I closed my eyes, I still saw him lying still, the rise and fall of his chest the only thing reminding me he was still here.

A week.

One full week of talking to him even when he didn’t answer. Of holding his hand and begging him silently not to leave me. Of pretending I was strong when my chest felt like it was caving in.

That morning, I was sitting the same way I always did, my fingers wrapped around his hand. His skin was warm and steady. I rubbed my thumb over his knuckles, slow and careful, like I might break him if I moved too fast.

“I’m going to be mad at you,” I said quietly, my voice rough. “You know that, right?”

No response.

“You promised me,” I went on. “You don’t get to scare me like this and then stay quiet.”

I rested my forehead against

  • THE MAFIA BOSS PLUS-SIZED OBSESSION.   Chapter 57

    Nine months changed everything.I used to think happiness was loud. Big moments. Things that felt heavy and dramatic. I was wrong. Happiness was quieter than that. It came in small pieces, in waiting, in fear mixed with hope, in love that stayed even when things got hard.Right now, happiness was pain. A lot of it.I held onto the bedrail with one hand and Liam’s hand with the other. My body shook as another wave hit me, strong and deep, the kind that took your breath away.“Bella,” Liam said, his voice tight, scared in a way I’d never heard before. “Look at me. Look at me.”I turned my head toward him. His eyes were wet. Not tears falling, but close. His face was pale, jaw clenched like he was the one fighting through this.“I’m here,” he said again. “I’m not going anywhere.”I nodded, even though my whole body felt like it was splitting apart.“Push,” the doctor said calmly.I took a breath and pushed.I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry. I pushed with everything I had, every part of me f

    I got home earlier than usual.The house was quiet when I walked in. Liam wasn’t back yet. I dropped my bag on the bed and stood there for a moment, letting the silence settle. My chest still felt tight from everything that happened at the hospital.Ruby’s face. Her voice. The way she looked at me like she expected something.I pushed it away and went into the bathroom.The shower helped a little. The warm water ran down my back as I leaned my forehead against the tiles, closing my eyes. I let myself breathe. Let the weight of the day slide off me slowly. By the time I wrapped myself in a robe and went downstairs, my head felt clearer.That was when the front door opened.Liam stepped in, loosening his tie as he walked inside. His shoulders were tense, his movements sharp like his day hadn’t gone easy.I crossed the space between us and wrapped my arms around him, pressing my face against his chest. For a second, he froze. Then his arms came around me, strong and sure.“I needed this,

    Liam kissed my forehead before I could even say good morning.“Be careful,” he murmured, adjusting the cuff of his shirt. He was already half in work mode, his mind probably at the warehouse, mine already drifting toward the hospital.“I will,” I said, standing on my toes to kiss him back properly. “Don’t stress yourself.”He smiled, that small smile he always gave me when he didn’t plan on listening. “I’ll try.”I watched him for a second longer than usual, committing the sight of him to memory the way I still did sometimes, like my mind hadn’t fully accepted yet that he was here, alive, and mine. Then I grabbed my bag and headed out.The drive to the hospital was quiet. Not empty, just calm. When I arrived, the building felt alive in a way that still surprised me. People moving with purpose. Voices blending into something steady and controlled. This place was no longer an idea or a dream. It was working. It was real.I went straight to my office.I sat behind my desk and opened the

    Three months later, I stood in front of my hospital building and felt my chest tighten in a way that had nothing to do with fear.My hands shook as I held the clipboard, not because I didn’t know what to do, but because I knew exactly what this moment meant. I had imagined it for so long that it almost didn’t feel real now that it was here.Behind me, voices moved in and out, familiar ones. Nurses adjusting their coats. Doctors greeting each other with quiet smiles and quick nods. People who had trusted me enough to say yes when this place was still nothing but plans and hope.I turned slightly and saw Liam standing a few steps away.He wasn’t trying to take control of the room. He didn’t need to. He leaned back against the wall, hands in his pockets, watching everything with calm eyes. Watching me.Our eyes met.He smiled, slow and steady, like he had all the time in the world.I looked away before my emotions betrayed me.“Mrs. Bella?”I turned to see one of the senior nurses standi

    The first night back home, Liam fell asleep on the couch before the movie even reached the opening credits.His head rested against the pillow I had placed carefully behind him, one arm stretched out, the other bent awkwardly because he was still learning what positions didn’t hurt. His breathing was slow, even. Real. I sat beside him, watching the small rise and fall of his chest like it was something fragile.Home felt different now.Not in a bad way. Just… quieter. Like the walls themselves were holding their breath, afraid to disturb him.I reached out and gently pulled the blanket higher over his chest. He stirred slightly, brows pulling together, then relaxed again. My fingers lingered at his temple, brushing his hair back carefully, avoiding the place where it was still growing unevenly.Two weeks ago, I didn’t know if I’d ever see him open his eyes again.Now he was here. Sleeping. Alive.I swallowed hard and stood up slowly, my knees stiff from sitting too long. I moved aroun
